That's all we've got time for on Tribe, I'm afraid. Until next time, this is James Messenger saying goodbye!
One collective, HUGE sigh of relief from Gareth Southgate and his players! Seconds from being dumped out of the competition by Slovakia, Jude Bellingham came to England's rescue at the eleventh hour before captain Harry Kane headed home less than 60 seconds into extra-time. Make no mistake, this result is so cruel on Slovakia, who performed admirably and came close to pulling off arguably the shock of the tournament. Instead, it's they who must now pack their bags. There was a brief altercation after the full-time whistle between their manager Francesco Calzona and Three Lions midfielder Declan Rice, who appeared to be pushed as the Slovakia boss remonstrated to the referee. Still, it's not enough to sour Rice or England's night. Their time in Germany continues, with Switzerland next up in the quarter-finals!
ENGLAND ARE THROUGH TO THE QUARTER-FINALS!
Suslov is cautioned after the final whistle, presumably for dissent.

CLOSE! That would've sealed it! England win the ball back inside their own half and play the ball right to find Palmer with acres of space to charge into. Rather than taking the ball to the corner flag, he cuts inside instead and tries to tee up Eze to his left. The ball is half-intercepted but still ricochets the way of Toney, who has a free sight of goal near the edge of the box but blazes over Dubravka's bar! Seconds remain now...
Into ONE final minute...

CHANCE! Was that their opportunity? A hopeful, raking cross from the right comes in and Hancko looks to attack the ball in the centre of the penalty area. Walker jumps just ahead of him and does enough to put off the Slovakian, who heads well over the bar.
